A Voice From the Forest

Hello My Friends!!!

I have a story to tell you........I captured this song from my heart on video. Back in Time when life was a day to day struggle to live by the land, and respect what it has to offer. The story goes like this........Two people in love, soul mates for life. The winter was hard, but they had each other. Food was running out....and spring was on its way. The trapper knew it was time to leave his beautiful wife and go hunting in the forest for three days to harvest food for them. He kissed his wife, and started his short journey. Now, he had did this many times before, and had always returned early. On the third day, his wife started to worry. In her heart, she knew something must have gone wrong for him not to return. That night she knelt on her knees to pray, thanking God for everything that she cherished and a special prayer for her soul mate to return safely. When she awoke from her restless sleep the night before, she heard her soul mate playing his flute. He always played his flute when he returned home for her. She jumped out of bed and ran outside to meet him half way down the long path that disappeared into the forest. As she kept going, he was nowhere in site.....But his music was clear and echoing through the trees as the wind touched the leaves. She knew that he couldn't be to far away. She called for him and listened for a response. The forest was filled with wildlife.....but no familar answer came to her. Quickly returning home, she gathered up her supplies and set out to find her soulmate. A short time had passed and in a meadow she found his horse grazing but no sign of her husband. The sun was setting and she made a small camp to continue looking in the morning. One week came bye quickly, and still no sign. Now, many thoughts were racing through her mind. As she closed her crying eyes a faint sound from his flute echoed through the canyon. His song was fainter now, but she continued to search praying every minute to find her true love. At last she could see him sitting bye a clump of trees with his flute in his hands. Flying off her horse, she ran to him........wrapping her arms around his body. He was barely alive, and unconscious. Nursing him back to life, he opened his eyes and said thank you for saving me. I was riding, when a pack of wolves scared my horse and I hit the ground knocking me out cold. He asked, how did you ever find me? She replied, I followed your beautiful music. The trapper looked at her with a puzzled stare and said that a man with few words helped me to these trees. The man said that the angels were waiting to here a song from me. I started to play until I could play no more. As I looked in the meadow I seen many angels listening to me. Dancing to every note I played. When they returned home together that night was filled with great happiness. As they closed their eyes they could hear the faint harmony of a flute coming from the canyon.....I hope you like this song!!!
